Sevilla come from behind to win at La Liga rivals Osasuna.

Sevilla's push for the La Liga title continued with a thrilling late 4-3 victory at Osasuna.

Franco Vazquez and Pablo Sarabia scored in the final 10 minutes to keep the pressure on Zinedine Zidane's leaders, who are a point ahead of Sevilla having played a game less.

Sergio Leon had given Osasuna the lead but Vicente Iborra levelled just before the break. The midfielder then scored an own goal after 63 minutes and completed a hat-trick of sorts when he equalised for the second time two minutes later.

Vazquez and Sarabia then struck late and while Kenan Kodro grabbed a consolation deep into added time, Osasuna remain bottom.

Antoine Griezmann's late goal rescued a point for Atletico Madrid but they sit eight points off the top after drawing 2-2 at Athletic Bilbao.
